i flirted with going ur or uw for a bit. i wasn't every happy with the red splash and usually sb'd into dry spell and the other flare if the opp had x/1s. it definitely did win me a game, though.

round one g1 i play and have broken visage, fiend, drake, three lands, and portent. i keep and portent into swamp, sea, mount and decide to go for it. he drops thallid and i drop mount. i take it and he has lyre. i ping and pass. he pings and drops forbidden lore. i cast drake, draw legacy and flub by discarding mountain as i really wanted my 5th land. he swings again, pumping and making a sap and i take. he has another lyre and i'm getting a little worried. i drop wall of kelp and he swings with everything, declines to pump and drops elite. i legacy away fiend and get another land. i swing in the air and pass. he swings and pumps each guy so i visage the sap to kill the elite too. i swing and he's at 9 to my 10. i drop armor thrull and pass. all he can do is swing into my kelp token and drop another elite. i swing and drop another drake, drawing a swamp and dumping shyft. he swings with thallid, making a sap and i block again with another kelp token. he drops a drake discarding phantasmal mount with the lored forest open. i swing with all through the air, he blocks drake on drake and pumps so i sac the thrull to my mount taking him to 2. i drop catapult and sac drake to put him away.

g2 i mull a one-lander into four non-mountains, shower, and dead. i reluctantly keep. he has a t3 spider, t4 spellcaster. i have a t4 dead. he drops a mount and i have sea spirit. i'm praying for a mountain but one never comes. i'm at 12 before i can even start trading and he drops mammoth. i have drake and discard ghoul. i try to trade spirit for spider, but he has the growth to wreck me. he drops catapult and it's basically over. i hang on, dropping my own catapult, but he has lore and i need a mountain stat. i end up getting prison for spellcaster and drop my own mount, but i'm at 4 and he whirling catapults me away.

g3 i go first and keep a two island hand with wall of kelp, flare, familiar, fiend, and dry spell. i get out wall and fiend. his first play is t4 thallid and i realize that he was short on islands g1 and also now, playing gwu. i bash for 5 and legacy away my familiar and he drops lore. i bash for 5 more and drop mount and flare his thallid for the concession.

round two i play and mull a three land high drop hand into a five land foul familiar hand. i keep and draw a mount, dropping it. i cast familiar and he has counterspell. he then drops his own familiar. i drop ghoul and fly it in for 4. i have wall of kelp and things are looking decent. he icequakes a swamp and i drop the wall. he has skeleton ship and now i'm on borrowed time. i fly in the ghoul and take him to 7 while i'm at 14. my kelp token chumps his familiar and i swing with everything. he offs my ghoul so i ping with mount. he kills then dance of the deads my mount and i draw my meteor shower. i drop aeolipile and chump another attack, going to 9. i draw and drop adakar sentinel and block with that, killing the familiar. mount takes me to 7 though. eot i pile him and then draw my land for the meteor shower win.

g2 i mull a one lander into a two lander with mount. i drop it on t2 and ping. his first play is a t4 fiend. i legacy away my ghoul in response. i drop a fiend of my own. he has diabolic visions, swords my fiend, and attacks for 3. i ping again and drop my sb red cliffs armada. he dark banishings it and hits me for 5. i keep pinging and drop fiend number two. he has icatian scout and portents me, shuffling. i fly the fiend in for 6, dropping him to 10 while i'm at 13. i drop drake and draw flare, discarding shyft. he drops skeleton ship and then swings in, tapping out to do 3 more. i flare the drake, flip fiend, and fly them in for exactly lethal.

round three g1 i keep a two land hand with brainstorm and portent. i portent and keep my lands. he has jeweled amulet ? while i have wall of kelp. he drops aysen crusader and i have fiend. he drops trooper and i flare the crusader thinking it could be ugly. i chump with a kelp token when he swings and then he drops another trooper. i pass and chump again and legacy away balduvian dead. he has elite, another soldier :/. i pass and he attacks with everything but elite. i block fiend on a trooper and chump the 7/2 with a kelp token. he drops armored griffin and i drop drake. he has javelineers, another pump. i'm not drawing much action and it's looking bad. i prison his elite and finally let the crusader die but maybe the griffin would've been better. he attacks and i trade drake for trooper and he drops cannoneers and incinerates fiend after combat. i continue to draw lands and when he drops gargoyle i concede.

g2 i get an all swamp hand and decide to run with it. he has t3 trooper and i have t4 fiend. he has order of sacred torch (tap pay 1 life, counter black spell). i have armor thrull and he drops gargoyle. i am in serious trouble. i flare the order and the gargoyle starts bashing me. he drops angel of fury and then griffin and i keep casting stuff but there's no way i'm winning.
